Tatarstan to mark two holidays on Sunday.
KAZAN, the Republic of Tatarstan, August 30 (Itar-Tass) - The Republic
of Tatarstan will mark two holidays on Sunday. One is the Republic Day,
the other is the Day of Kazan.
"Tatarstan adopted a declaration on state sovereignty on August 30,
1990. It takes into account the interests of all residents of Tatarstan.
It has helped reviving the republic's economy and has made it possible to
strengthen links with the federal government," Mintimer Shaimiyev, the
president of Tatarstan, said in an address to the people of Tatarstan.
Festivities will be held on the bank of the Bulak River. Playing
grounds, attractions and a mobile zoo have been set up for children on the
river embankment. Artists will give concerts and clowns will hold a parade.
Harmonists will compete in a contest on Theatrical Square where state
awards of the Republic of Tatarstan will also be presented.
New honorary citizens of Kazan will be honored in the city's town
hall. They are Kurban Berdyev and Zinetull Bilyaletdinov, the head coaches
of the football team Rubin and the ice-hockey team 'Ak Bars'.
The festivities will include sport events: horse races for the 'Golden
Horse Shoe' price will be held at the hippodrome. An international auto
race for the President of Tatarstan Cup will be held on the occasion of
the Day of Kazan. A two-week marathon will kick off in Kazan on Sunday.
Athletes will run 2,013 kilometers across 33 districts of Tatarstan.
.Orthodox church to be consecrated in China.
MOSCOW, August 30 (Itar-Tass) - For the first time in the past few
decades an Orthodox church is going to be consecrated in China.
The Church of St. Innokentiy of Irkutsk in the city of Labdarin (the
Innner Mongolia Autonomous Region) will be sanctified on Sunday. It was
built in 1990. Eighteen Orthodox churches were destroyed in that region in
the years of 'cultural revolution' in China.
The church parishioners are descendants of the Russians who began to
inhabit this remote part of China late in the 19th century. The Church of
St. Innokentiy of Irkutsk belongs to the Chinese Autonomous Orthodox
Church. It's one of the four churches, which have an official status in
China.
Since the church doesn't have its own priest, the office of
consecration will be conducted by Father Mikhail from Shanghai. The Chita
and Trans-Baikal eparchies of the Russian Orthodox Church that cure for
this diocese by decision of the Holy Synod have donated an icon stand,
church utensils and liturgical vestments to the Church of St. Innokentiy
of Irkutsk.
Clerics of the Russian Orthodox Church will participate in the
dedication service.
